Suddenly, with a blast of fire, a palanquin zoomed past Jessica and Lucas, who was behind her. “This place is good and all, with flying airships and lots of technology, but I feel like I'm gonna die every time I walk up these stairs!” She groaned. Of course, nobody ever counted them, but Jessica knew. Hanbok - Traditional Korean outfit Hanok - A traditional Korean houseĬhapter Two The hot summer sun shone down as Jessica climbed up the 888 stairs that lead to the palace of Ealen. “Every time I come here, it's a weird place.” She murmured. She looked around at the riverside markets and hanoks*, busy with people. Jessica looked up at the sky, filled with airships arriving from other parts of the country. About thirty minutes later, the small wooden boat arrived at the entrance of Ealan Castle. Not waiting for Lucas's reply, she walked to the boat. There are many isolated islands to be sent of to, you know.” “This entire country is isolated, if you say that.” Jessica said. “Anyway,” she said, looking around, “I'll finally be able to get out of this small place!” “This place isn't so bad,” Lucas pointed out, “considering that you were exiled. “So that's why I'm saying it here!” Jessica retorted. “For an astronomer, getting the eclipse time wrong is a very big crime! If you say such disrespectful words in front of the Castellan again, you don't know what he'll do to you like last time…” He said.

“Strange astronomical signs have been happening?” Jessica asked. As the sun was setting, the two people headed towards their boat. The Castellan has ordered to bring you back to the palace.” Jessica's mouth dropped open. “What is the country's greatest magician Lucas doing here? Wait, could it be…?” Lucas smiled at Jessica. “Teaching kids in the countryside must also be a good way to spend your time, Astronomer Jessica.” Jessica looked at the young man. It was a young man wearing similar clothes that the women wore, only this time, it was a bright orange. “Now, I hope you finished your homework from last class?” The other kids looked at each other nervously. “Hush! You should be thankful I'm giving you the time to listen to any story!” The women said. “Yes, I'm tired of the same story!

The 8 sages built 8 castles to rule, and that was the start of Eightstar. The wisest sage of all became the owner of the stars, the Castellan, and the other sages became the king of the stars, the Castians. They believed that this land will be the place that will protect the Starsight, the mysterious treasure, from the curse of the sea. As the land became beautiful, the sages that were under the ground came up to the land. Animals came to the lush greenery, and people also came to find this land. When the fires dimmed, green grass grew from the ground, and beside the grass grew huge trees. Where the comets fell, huge fires started, and those fires became the light that started to lighten up the world. In the land of eternal darkness, sacred comets started to fall from the sky. There wasn't a single breath of life that was heard. Chapter One There used to be nothing but empty land and darkness outside the world where the curse of the sea did not reach.
